A 72-year-old man had apparently been driving erratically and likely sufferred a medical emergency as he was driving on Highway 34 in Loveland at about 3:00 p.m. A witness who was driving behind the man saw the man swerving across lanes before his car jumped the curb, went over the sidewalk, and into the lake. Fortunately for the elderly man, bystanders rushed straight into the cold water, and broke the car's window so that the man could be rescued. He was initially in cardiac arrest but is now breathing on his own.
